Benoît Pellerin’s classroom is a veritable science centre with the
doors and windows open to the surrounding environment. With a contagious
sense of humour and an inquiring mind, Mr.
Pellerin guides his students through excursions and experiments they won’
t soon forget, establishing parallels that enable the students to
remember lesson content and explain it.

Outstanding achievements

To foster learning for students who are hands-on learners, Mr. Pellerin created units on robotics for teachers
of grades 7 to 10 and trained them in the presentation of these modules.
Given the interest shown, Mr. Pellerin now
plans to form a robotics club for students in grades 11 and 12.

Mr. Pellerin proposed a water quality
study project for the Seine River and received a $25,000 contribution
from the Manitoba Water Stewardship. This funding made it possible for
him to obtain the necessary equipment to enable the institution to do a
long-term water quality study. The project also enabled students to work
with scientists in the region. This is one of the first major scientific
studies done in French in Manitoba.

Rave Reviews

"Mr. Pellerin enjoys the good
things in life and above all tries to teach in a pleasant atmosphere,
tying the serious to the enjoyable. As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Pellerin is the reason I was able to confirm my
interest in biology….”

Former student

"I often hear his students’ laughter all the way to my
classroom. … Mr. Pellerin] wants all his
students to succeed….I’m very honoured to be his colleague."
